Infectious bronchitis is an acute and highly contagious respiratory disease of chickens characterised by respiratory signs comprising gasping, coughing, sneezing, tracheal rales and nasal discharge. Besides, severe respiratory distress may occur in young chickens. Respiratory distress, decrease in egg production, and loss of internal egg quality and egg shell quality have been reported in layers. Some strains of the virus produce severe kidney damage and may be associated with high mortality. According to the current situation (worldwide distribution), it is essential to analyse and update this severe condition. The authors (highly experienced in this topic) have developed a complete review including images, tables, graphs, etc. The precise information and the atlas format make the contents more understandable and affordable for the readers.

Presentation of the book Infectious bronchitis is an acute and highly contagious respiratory disease of chickens characterised by respiratory signs comprising gasping, coughing, sneezing, tracheal rales and nasal discharge. In addition, severe respiratory distress may occur in young chickens. Respiratory distress, decrease in egg production, and loss of internal egg quality and egg shell quality have been reported in layers. Some strains of the virus produce severe kidney damage and may be associated with high mortality. Moreover, this pathology is considered to have worldwide distribution, so it is not controlled totally. Knowing its most hazardous features is required to minimise the great impact which has in poultry farming.

According to the current situation, it is essential to review and update this severe problem. The authors have developed a complete review in a didactic and graphic way, including images, tables, graphs, etc., accompanied by a short text, to make the handbook more understandable and affordable. This precise information will help the veterinarians to know everything about this topic and tackle it properly.

Introduction Âť The first observation of infectious bronchitis (IB) was in North Dakota (USA) in 1930, being reported in 1931 as a highly contagious disease of young chicks with respiratory signs. 5 years later, a virus was demonstrated as the causative agent of this disease, being named infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). Thereafter, many cases were reported in several countries around the world. 10

Âť IB is a worldwide infectious and highly contagious disease which causes significant economic losses for poultry industry. IBV primarily infects and damages the respiratory tract, but also affects the genito-urinary tract, leading to reduced feed consumption and weight gain, and/or drop in egg production.

INTRODUCTION

Chickens of all ages are naturally affected by IBV, but the disease is more severe in young chicks, causing some mortality. IBV infection also affects other gallinaceous and non-gallinaceous species. 8,18 Although the consequences of viral replication in these hosts remain unknown, apparently, most of these infections are subclinical.

SPECIMEN SAMPLING AND DIAGNOSTIC METHODS

Necropsy and tissue sampling The necropsy correlates the gross lesions with the clinical signs of the chicken and the flock, and gives the tentative diagnosis based on the interpretation of the gross lesions. The necropsy is an excellent source for collecting tissues for the laboratory diagnosis and establishes the definitive diagnosis. While performing a necropsy, (1) perform a systematic necropsy technique, (2) examine and collect from the cleanest to the dirtiest organs, and (3) describe the clinical history and the gross findings in the necropsy form. Keep fresh tissue samples at 4 째C for short storage time or at -20 째C for longer time.

Specimen sampling and diagnostic methods

Infectious Bronchitis

For histopathologic examination, take samples of 0.5-1 cm thickness and place them into 10 % buffered formalin for at least 1 day (not >5 days). Do not freeze samples to be fixed. Use clean scissors and forceps for taking samples for viral isolation or molecular diagnosis. The trachea, lung, kidney, caecal tonsils of intestinal tract and oviduct are the better sources of virus depending of pathogenesis of disease.

SPECIMEN SAMPLING AND DIAGNOSTIC METHODS

Filter card paper Spotting swab or fresh tissue samples on active area of filter card papers could be an alternative method, providing transport of non-infectious material for long periods at room temperature. Filter cards are cotton-based cellulose papers impregnated with chemicals that inactivate many types of viruses and bacteria. 51

Table 3. Main methods for IBV diagnosis. Method Direct Indirect

What is identified? • Aetiological agent • Nucleic acids (genome) • Antigen Antibodies anti-IBV

When is recommended to collect samples? Preferable at the beginning of clinical signs Monitoring during all life cycle

Examples • Viral isolation (standard) • Molecular diagnosis • Immunohistochemistry ELISA


SPECIMEN SAMPLING AND DIAGNOSTIC METHODS

Viral isolation Table 4. Characteristics of viral isolation method. Principle

Detection of viable (infecting) virus (classic method) • Inoculation in embryonated eggs (most common) • Inoculation in tracheal organ culture

Methods Biological material

Tracheal swabs, cloacal swabs, fresh tissue samples

Cost

Time

1-3 weeks

Sensitivity

++

Advantages

Low to moderate cost • In delay on delivery of biological material or inappropriate storage, the virus could be easily inactivated providing a false negative result • This method cannot differentiate attenuated vaccine virus from field strains of IBV • Only strains adapted to embryonated eggs (usually after several passages) will induce characteristic lesions of IBV on the embryo

Disadvantages

Titration of vaccine, 52 viral propagation, isolation for characterization 49

Specimen sampling and diagnostic methods 1st passage Biological material

Embryonated eggs 9-11 days of incubation

Observation of mortality

Candling eggs during 7 days

Infectious Bronchitis

Collect allantoic fluid at 3rd day for sequential passages

Evaluation of all inoculated eggs at 7th day

Mortality at 24 hours postinoculation considered non-specific 54

Negative embryos (N) = at least two more passages to confirm result Positive embryo/s (P) = positive for IBV

How to interpret the results? The positive result confirms the presence of infecting IBV. However, this virus could be an attenuated vaccine or a field strain, highlighting the importance of proving flock history and characterization of the viral isolate.
